I will be calling one of my pregnancy massage colleagues for sure on Monday!

Make sure you CAN lie on your side before the pregnancy massage. It took me almost two weeks to lie on my side. Things kept sloshing around and there was a lot of pain. Even propped up with pillows, that position was painful not only to do but to give up from. My right side, especially was very, very tender.

Good point Sassine....I had a hard time being on my side in the beginning.....do only what is comfortable.

Well, I got my response from my doctor's office today and they said that a massage should be okay as long as it is not a deep tissue massage. I texted my daughter to bring that massage table over here. Mom needs some attention!

That's great! Lucky you!!!

OOOooooo, Parrot! Good for you! Hope you feel much better!
